How do minerals break other minerals?
minerals don't break other minerals yet they can scratch other minerals based on their hardness which is measured by the Mohs scale
Why do minerals not break down when cooked?
Minerals don't break down when cooked because they are at their most integral form. Only at extremely high temperatures will minerals break down.
What is the answer to this describes a organism whose tissues are completely replaced by minerals?
An organism whose tissues are completely replaced by minerals is a fossil.
The tendency of some minerals to break unevenly along curved or irregular surfaces is called what?
The tendency of some minerals to break unevenly along curved or irregular surfaces is called cleavage. Cleavage is a property that describes how a mineral breaks when subjected to stress, and it is determined by the internal arrangement of atoms within the mineral's structure.
What is the tendency of minerals to break?
Cleavage
What are minerals that break with an uneven rough or jagged surface?
Minerals that break with an uneven rough or jagged surface are classified as having a fracture. Some examples of minerals with this type of fracture include quartz, fluorite, and obsidian. These minerals break in a way that does not exhibit any distinct cleavage planes.
Certain minerals usually break along flat surfaces while other minerals break unevenly the characteristic is due to the?
cleavege of the mineral
Which minerals split and dont break or crumble?
Minerals that exhibit cleavage split along flat planes and do not break apart or crumble like minerals that fracture. Examples of minerals with good cleavage include mica, calcite, and halite.
Which property describes the color of powdered minerals?
its called streak
Is cleavage a physical property?
Cleavage is not a physical property, but rather a mineralogical property that describes how a mineral breaks along planes of weakness. Minerals with cleavage break along specific directions due to their crystal structure, creating smooth, flat surfaces. This property is used to help identify minerals.
what describes the compostition of rocks?
Rocks are made up of minerals. Different rocks consist of different minerals in different proportions.
What is the resistance to being scratched is a minerals?
This describes a mineral's Mohs hardness.
